TCU designated hitter, and now first baseman, Luken Baker says he’s ready to play in the field again.
Where things will be a little more hopping.
“DH’ing was exciting, but sometimes it gets a little boring or whatever; your team’s out there on the field, and you’re sitting,” he said Friday before the Horned Frogs’ first practice in preparation for the season opener Feb. 17 against Penn State. “I’m excited to get out there, play some first base.”
Baker is expected to be strictly a hitter in 2017 for top-ranked TCU after hitting and pitching last season.
